Solaris

Hello

I have install new NIC ,that's RTL8139 in SUN U10 but it not work (or not detect I don't know )

in "ifconfig -a" it show only lo0 and hme0

in "ifconfig hme1 plumb" it show

Code:

SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: hme1 :no such interface

and there's some file that I change
/ect/hosts

Code:

127.0.0.1    loghost    localhost
10.2.9.250   sun1   10.2.9.250
192.168.1.1   sun1_1   192.168.1.1

I try to set sun1_1 for RTL8139

/ect/hostname.hme1

Code:

sun1_1

I think it might have major mistake

but wellcome all advice

thank you in advance

try a "reboot -- -r" and a "ifconfig -a plumb" afterwards. then have a look with "ifconfig -a" for a new interface.
if you are on solaris 10, you can also use "dladm show-dev" to find you interfaces...

if nothing works, you might need a driver for the new interface!

grep -i net /etc/path_to_inst
As what Duke said, checkout dladm show-dev

Code:

SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: hme1 :no such interface

It still show this message

and when I reboot system I seen this message before log on screen

I'll change this NIC in other Sun U10

,thanks Duke and incredible

Tomorow it might have more problem.

an realtek interface won't have the the name hme1... so thats why we told you to use "ifconfig -a plumb". please try the suggested commands and post the output of them for further troubleshooting!
